Change Afoot

Some announcements:

I no longer work in my previous industry, which was real estate development.

Instead, I've decided to fashion a new career for myself. A big part of it, though there are other parts, is writing. The details are:

-In addition to my regular column at TCSDaily, I'm making efforts to contribute to other outlets as well (and if you're an editor reading this and would like to discuss a piece, please email me at my address in the sidebar).

-I'll be ramping up the activity here on the blog. This may take the form of some new formats, rather than the long form I've always enjoyed. We'll see.

-I'll begin writing a book soon. The topic will be how to win the war. I've outlined several chapters and am very excited about getting it down on paper, er, screen. Some of that work will appear here or in other outlets from time to time.

-I'll continue doing some original reporting if and when opportunities present themselves.

-I'd like to experiment with podcasting and hope to have the equipment to do so in place soon.

-The Adventures of Chester Book Club is close to becoming a reality (see below). More on that as it develops. If you're interested, comment to this post, or shoot me an email.

Thanks to all you loyal readers out there. I've taken long breaks from this blog from time to time and may have to again in the future. For now, though, I hope to have a continued presence for the next three months at a minimum.

UPDATE: Another new change: there is now an Adventures of Chester Bookstore. I've picked the 6 books that appear on the front page and added a brief blurb about them. They are either perennial favorites or some of the best I've read this year. Now you can browse Amazon without ever leaving Adventures!

Good Luck! It should be an "adventure!"

Good luck!

When did you join WoC? I don't recall seeing you on them before. Congrats, in any event. Hard to do better then them.
